Chapter 349
Unbeknownst to most of them, at tier five, when mages begin to comprehend the various aspects and integrate them into their understanding of magic, they are stepping into a new life order. From simple mortals, they become a Demi. Understanding and integrating realm laws serves two primary functions. Firstly, any attack imbued with one's aspect will always be more powerful than an attack without. Secondly, and even more importantly, The deeper one's understanding of a given law, the more immune one becomes to its effects. For example, a fire mage that has a deep comprehension of the aspect of heat, could easily take a bath in lava and not feel a thing." "But while the demi are a step above mortal, they are by no means invincible. The fire mage may not be burned by the lava, but if they aren't careful, they could easily drown in it. In other words, while they have grasped a corner of the tapestry of laws that govern the realm, they are by no means immune to the rest. The goal of all De

Having morphed into a literal clown mask, Greg couldn't tell whether Morpheus was actually smiling at him or not. There was, however, approval in his voice as he answered. "I didn't expect you to understand my little ruse so quickly. You may yet join the ranks of intelligent beings," he declared, causing Greg to roll his eyes at the return jab. "Back when I was young, at about ten thousand years or so, Mother tried to teach me the language of creation. Unfortunately, I was too stupid at the time to understand the value of what she was offering. I only attained a very basic understanding of it before giving it up. I can use it to do fancy tricks like restoring a mortal's finger. When it comes to truly powerful beings like the Primordial and other beings at her level, however, my knowledge of the language of creation is far too rudimentary to affect them in any real way," he confessed.Greg was left in a daze, not sure what to make of the idea that ten thousand years of age was young. D
Chapter 347
The idea that they were always solemn, serious, and thoughtful beings was just a projection of people onto them. Yes, they could be all those things, but they could also just as easily act in the most irrational and immature ways. The only thing that could be said about such beings is that they were powerful, anything else was purely up to the whims of those beings at the time. "Would you have stopped her if she tried to kill me?" Greg found himself asking after a while of silence had passed between them. There was a long silence before Morpheus spoke up. "Your words were right, Greg. Pawn you may be, but you were my mother's pawn first. The reason the Primordial came after us this time is because of my actions during your ascension. If the Primordial killed you and I did nothing, the fault for your death would have been laid at my feet. Even if I somehow survived the Primordial, I would have had to answer to my mother. I already went against her once before with the help of seven
Chapter 346
There was a look of shock on Olivia's face as if she hadn't expected Morpheus to so easily see through her. This, however, was quickly followed by acceptance as if she should have expected no less from the being before her. There was increased reverence in her eyes for Morpheus. On his part, Morpheus just smiled like an elder would to a child. "I've seen enough attempts both successful and unsuccessful to easily work out what this is. You've reached the limit of your growth and power as a Primordial and are unable to grow in power aren't you?" He posed rhetorically. Without awaiting an answer, he continued "Yours is among the more creative approaches to breaking through the barrier to become a deity that I've seen, I admit. But you should already know the odds of success in such an endeavor," Morpheus stated "Where one succeeds, ten thousand fail," Olivia's true self said. Greg could immediately tell that these weren't her own words. Instead, they felt like something that she'd hear
Chapter 345
When Morpheus turned to once again look in Olivia's direction, a smile crossed Greg's features. Greg doubted that Olivia's true self was aware that she was projecting her emotions through her clone. This was the only explanation Greg could come up with as he saw no benefit for the Primordial in making her avatar appear white as a sheet of paper. "Y... you know the language of creation?" The words left Olivia's lips in a stammer. Greg doubted that the Primordial had ever been forced to stammer in all her life. There was, however, no faking the bone-deep fear that seemed to have taken hold of her. "Interesting, I wouldn't expect a child like you to recognize it," Morpheus answered. Greg knew that Olivia's true self was probably tens of thousands of years old, as such, it felt odd to have her called a child. If he was to be believed, however, Morpheus's jail sentence alone had been more than seven hundred thousand years. And so, in a way, it did make sense that he'd think of the Primor

Got you!" Judging by the way her eyes went wide with both shock and panic, Olivia's true self felt the connection form at the same time that Greg did. He didn't know how, but it would seem that all this time, Morpheus hadn't just been talking. Using the connection between Olivia's true self and her clone, he somehow followed it back to the true Olivia, creating a connection of his own that Olivia's true self couldn't as easily cut. All this time that he'd been exchanging threats with her, had been a ruse. A magician's misdirection. While one hand dazzled his audience, the other was busy with the actual trick. This left Greg questioning, had Morpheus been smiling because the observation that he didn't care about Greg was true? Or was it because he had succeeded in his underhanded play? Greg immediately felt the tug on the new connection that had formed between Olivia's true self and them as the Primordial tried to break it. To her credit, the connection did start to break. The spee
